we’re sure there are a lot of shows currently on rival services like Amazon Prime that will be at the top of shows “Most Requested”, but what about suggesting some classic British TV? If nothing else, it will have their heads scratching as they try to track down why loads of their British subscribers are requesting the likes of Blake’s 7, Gerry Anderson’s UFO, Fireball XL5, Sapphire and Steel, or really obscure shows such as BBC’s The Changes or ITV’s Children of the Stones!

(Yes, we know you can get these shows on DVD and some on Blu-Ray – links above).

Don’t let this opportunity go by – head over to their request form and enter your top 3… it could make all the difference.
